Note 136 — FIRST VISIT TO AMERICA.

In reality Whitefield was appointed to be the minister, not of Savannah, but, of Frederica. The reason why he settled at Savannah was because, since Wesley's departure, the town had been without a minister; and the reason why he deferred his residence at Frederica was because there, there was not a church. (See Whitefield's Letter to Rev. Thomas Church, in 1744.)
